Summary
"Only the present moment is precious to me," St. Faustina writes. Listen in as Fr. Joseph Roesch, MIC, reads from this modern spiritual classic.
The Lord’s “Secretary of Divine Mercy,” St. Faustina, wrote what has become a modern-day spiritual classic — a blueprint for living a sacramental life in union with Jesus Christ. For anyone who may think the Diary is too thick and formidable, Fr. Joseph Roesch, MIC, has the solution. Join him for a few minutes each day as he reads from the Diary and offers commentary. Over the span of one year, you will have “read" the Diary, beginning to end, and absorbed its rich teachings.

| 0:47.3 | O eternal love, you command your sacred image to be painted and reveal to us the inconceivable fount of mercy. |
| 0:56.0 | You bless whoever approaches your rays and a soul, all black, will turn into snow. |
| 1:04.0 | O sweet Jesus, it is here you establish the throne of your mercy, to bring joy and hope to sinful man. From your |
